#TroveOn: EON Heli Bar located at the 51st floor of Bitexco Financial Tower overlooks the glittering city of Saigon.

After a tiring day of roaming the streets of Cho Lon, Saigon's Chinatown, my friend and I headed to the swanky part of the city to grab a drink at a bar (basically we just wanted to get some shots of the skyline and technically just paid to get shots of it) as part of our 23rd birthday celebration.

EON Heli Bar is a great vantage point to get shots of the skyline.

Seen here is the Saigonese skyline succumbing to the night.
